PLEASE NOTE: We will be seating pre-registered attendees from 6:30 - 6:45 PM. At 6:45 PM we will open the remaining seats to our hosts, the students and staff of Columbia University. If you have made a reservation and arrive after 6:45 PM, we can not guarantee that there will be space available. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY to ensure your seat reservation.

Also, in advance of the event if you would care to learn more about the Burning Man Ten Principles and the philosophical world of Burning Man, several essays have just been posted online by Larry Harvey and collaborators.

Thank you!

The Burning Man Project is proud to join Columbia University's Department of Religion and Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life to present a forum on Burning Man, technology, religion and the future, featuring panelists Larry Harvey (founder of Burning Man), John Perry Barlow (founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation) and Peter Hirshberg (disruptive cultures and technology expert).

Dr. David Kittay of Columbia's Department of Religion will moderate a lively conversation about Burning Man as a philosophical movement, its history, and its predicted global applications.
